Living Amongst the Broken

Everywhere I go people always ask Why am I am who I am, why do I do what I do Did I forget who I was, and who I'm supposed to be People ask why I wear this ink on my skin When did this new person begin Think that I dwell in my brokenness Begging for a sinful kiss Well I won't deny I'm not perfect That I never fall within the midst of it But what if you look deeper than my skin What if you saw the love within My Savior didn't come for the healthy He came for the sick I want to be a hope A light for the world I want to live within the midst of the broken Show a new road for the broken homes Thoughts of what I'm supposed to be College, careers, and a stable home But I've already had it all Been blessed with a family and more possessions than I deserve But what I treasure most is this My God, my friends, my family All I want is to show the love I've been given to everyone I know My Savior didn't come for the healthy He came for the sick I want to be a hope A light for the world I want to live within the midst of the broken Show a new road for broken homes So yes my love will be a mess I'll date girls with tattoos and scars Because I bear my own I'll befriend the addict Because we all have our own addictions It's not an easy road But I never thought it'd be So I'll be the light I was born to be Yes I'll deal with my depression As I'll help with theirs My Savior didn't come for the healthy He came for the sick I want to be a hope A light for the world I want to live within the midst of the broken Show a new road for the broken homes

Zach, it's not what's on the outside that matters but what's on the inside is what's important. Jesus didn't hang with the "pretty people". He chose the weak and broken to be his disciples. I really liked your message in this open and authentic write! Love, Kim
